These days ,tall modern buildings are rising everywhere .But if you go to a Chinese water town ,you can still take a trip back in time（回到從前）.CNN has picked China’s five most beautiful water towns.

The village of Zhouzhuang in Jiangsu calls itself the“the oldest water town in China”. The village was built in 1086 and is crossed with canals（運河）.Taking a boat ride through town,the red lanterns(燈籠）might make you think of China’s romantic past.

Hongcun in Anhui is 900years old. It was built to look like a big ox（牛）.Mount Huangshan is the head ;the town is the body and the bridges are legs.Hongcun is filled with lakes and beautiful Anhui style buildings.

Fenghuang in hunan doesn’t look like a bird.But its name means“phoenix”in Chinese.The town is really as beautiful as the mythical（神話的）bird.The Tuojiang River and the stilted (吊腳）buildings on both sides look like a postcard.

Huangyao in Guangxi is known for its natural feng shui.The town lies in a river bend（河灣）.People say it can prevent villagers’ good fortune （運氣）from flowing away.

While most water towns are in the south.Shangdong’s Tai’erzhuang stands out in the north.

The town lies on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It was a busy trading hub（中心）during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911).In the town ,there are ancient bridges ,canal and temples ,making you think of its past glory（榮耀）.

In 1997, a spaceship called Cassini was sent to explore Saturn (土星) and its moons. Now Cassini’s mission (使命) has come to an end. Scientists made it fall and bum up in 2017. But before that happened, the spaceship had made many trips between Saturn and its rings, sending photos and other information back to the Earth.

Cassini was a project carried out by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. It took Cassini about seven years to reach Saturn.

Scientists have learned many exciting things from Cassini. In 2005, Cassini sent a space probe (探測器) to Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, so scientists could get a closer look at the moon’s surface. One of the most important discoveries Cassini made was that there is warm liquid water (液態(tài)水) under the ice that covers one of Saturn’s smaller moons, Enceladus. Scientists believe conditions on Enceladus could be similar to the conditions that led to the development of life on Earth.

Cassini’s mission was supposed to be ended in 2008, but because it was still in good shape, scientists increased its life to 2017. Cassini performed the last task of its mission on September 15, 2017.

When Cassini ran out of its fuel (燃料) and entered Saturn’s atmosphere (大氣層), it burned up. Scientists said it was necessary for Cassini to be totally destroyed (毀壞) so there was no chance that microbes (微生物) from the Earth could be harmful to any possible life on Saturn.

1.What made scientists think that there might be life on Enceladus?

A. Animals’ waste was found.

B. They heard strange sounds.

C. Some ice was seen to cover it.

D. There is warm liquid water on it.

2.What might happen if Cassini wasn’t totally destroyed?

A. It might destroy Saturn’s surface.

B. It will fall onto the Earth.

C. The microbes from the Earth might be bad for Saturn’s possible life.

D. It will continue to send back information.

3.Which of the following things about Cassini is NOT mentioned?

A. Its findings. B. Its lasting time.

C. Its burning. D. Its later use.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Cassini was a very successful and useful spaceship.

B. Cassini has stayed in Saturn for ten years.

C. The project of exploring Saturn was carried out by America alone.

D. Enceladus is the biggest moon of Saturn.

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The process (過程) of sending Cassini to Saturn.

B. The moons and rings of Saturn.

C. The end of Cassini’s mission.

D. The life on Saturn.
